HP Notebook 15-da0002dx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

is there a way to add a another SSD on a HP Notebook 15-da0002dx or do I just need to upgrade my SSD from a M.2 128GB to a larger one?

I also want to upgrade my memory from 8 GB.

Can I upgrade my wireless card? I have a Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n (1x1) and Bluetooth 4.2 combo

 

What upgrades can I do to the notebook and is there any manuals I can use?

 

Thank you
